About the dish

A warm potato salad from Erken's chapter on salads and side dishes, where the potatoes absorb meat stock instead of dressing.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Half-boil the potatoes

    Wash the potatoes and boil them half-tender. Peel them and cut them into slices that are not too thin.

  2. 2

    Cook in stock

    Place the potato slices in a small pot with the boiling meat stock and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender. By then the stock should be almost fully reduced.

  3. 3

    Finish

    Take the pot off the heat and mix in butter, parsley and lemon juice. Serve warm.

Frequently asked questions

Why should the potatoes only be half-boiled first?
The potatoes are half-boiled, peeled and cut into slices that then finish cooking in boiling meat stock. This way they absorb the flavor of the stock while becoming fully tender, and the slices hold their shape better than if they were fully boiled.
How much stock should be left when the salad is done?
Almost none. When the potatoes are tender, the deciliter of meat stock should be roughly reduced away, so that butter, parsley and lemon juice blend into a thick glaze around the slices.
When are the butter, parsley and lemon juice added?
Right at the end, after the pot has been taken off the heat. Then you stir in 30 g butter, 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
What is needed for 6 servings?
1½ kg potatoes, 1 dl meat stock, 30 g butter, 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. The recipe is from Henriette Schønberg Erken's «Stor kokebok» (1914), p. 417, and takes around 40 minutes.
